Former Spanish teacher at Wayne Valley H.S. and Professor at William Paterson University.  

Dr. Kenneth M. Cappetta, Ph.D., age 67, died peacefully on February 25, 2015. He had been a Wayne resident his whole life, graduating from Wayne High School in 1965.

Ken was always a very bright individual and he completed his undergraduate studies at Montclair State before going to Ohio State University where he earned his Ph. D. He began his teaching career at Wayne Valley High School before becoming a professor at William Paterson University. Ken spoke five languages fluently and was an esteemed Spanish professor at William Paterson. He was most proud to have his first book published, titled Aprende Algo, while working at the University and he was an inspiration to many of his students. He was a great dancer, a lover of good music, and he had a wonderful sense of humor.

Ken is survived by his sister; Audrey Butan of Florida, a nephew; Darren DelSardo of Wayne, and two nieces; Sherrie Gultz and her husband Dr. Douglas Gultz of Stockton, NJ, and Susan Van Peenen and her husband Ray of Wayne, as well as many great-nieces and nephews who he loved dearly.
